Phoenix OS - Nexus 7 (grouper)

[jtrvk]

Frequent Auto Restart ...

As you already mentioned in your earlier post, seems like you installed with a full wipe. Probably you can try running it in safe mode to see if the issue persists..

Thanks for all the hard work. 1.0.5 running great after clean install. Does anyone know how to switch the time from 24-hour mode to 12-hour mode?

Also, does anyone know if this will be released for the Asus TF700? I would love to get it on that.

Any chance that someone can make a build for flo as well?

I can give it a shot and upload it later today. You will have to test as I don't have the Flo device.

Thank you so much for the flashable multirom zip!
I have a problem though, the battery life of the tablet in stand-by is very very limited. If I leave the tablet in stand-by (screen off) the battery gets discharged in no more than 8 hours.
I didn't install any program, and I had the same problem with the old beta as well.
I suppose that the fact that I'm using a nexus 7 2012 3G (tilapia) while the rom is supposed to be for grouper could be the culprit.
I also have the impression that running this rom a spot on the back of the tablet gets warmer than usual, but it might be an impression.
I have to investigate more because it looks like that something is preventing the tablet to go in stand-by (but I have to check).
I gave a brief look at the background services and I saw the mobile data service running (even if the mobile connection is not recognised).
Apart from that the rom runs very smooth and I love the general feeling (I also have a bluetooth keyboard).
Do you guys have a suggestion? Any other running the rom on a tilapia?
Thanks in advance!

@Kentrei - I've uploaded a version for the Flo device and add a link in the thread started in the Flo forum. See here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66585463&postcount=24

I have a grouper, and I can say that this rom has a 0 battery drain for me on standby, maybe 2-3% on nigths. As you said, it seems to be a problem of tilapia

 

[PinoDG]

this ROM would be amazing on tablet 10.1!
I wish I could have it on my Asus TF300 and TF101 !!!
Thanks to all those who seek to adapt it on our devices.
news for new update on grouper?
someone tried to make a version for tilapia thus leaving the operation of the data SIM?
Thanks all
EDIT last 1.0.7 update is currently only for x86...sorry
my all nexus

tilapia

someone tried to make a version for tilapia thus leaving the operation of the data SIM?

I've installed the rom on tilapia and it works. It feels very snappy and I generally like it very much.
Unfortunately SIM data is not working and it seems that there's something wrong with the energy management as the battery drains very fast when the tablet is on standy (actually from the graphs it seems that the tablet never enters into sleep and never turn off wi-fi, despite having chosen to always disconnect stand-by when on stand-by in the wi-fi options).
It seems that this problem doesn't happen on grouper.It could be nice if someone could suggest me how to investigate more on this energy management problem on tilapia.
Having the SIM data to work would be nice but it's not as important as having the tablet going to sleep properly.
Thanks

So for whom is in the same satuation as me, trying to run the rom like me on a tilapia, I've investigated a bit more and it looks like that when the screen is off wi-fi is turning off now but the tablet never enters in deep sleep and always remains awake. Appearently there aren't any wakelocks from applications that prevent the deep sleep, and, as the same multirom image works perfectly on grouper, I started to think that the problem could be the kernel.
Does anybody knows any alternative kernel that would work on this rom? I've tried to flash the most famous ones with no success. Thank you

@wokawoka hi
you can try to keep the "air" mode by activating then the wifi? They should work both while keeping data off. perhaps this trick works.
unfortunately I d' nt have time to investigate but you can use apps like "better battery stats" on xda and "wakelocks detector" on playstore, to learn more...

my all nexus

my all nexus

unfortunately I've already tried to use the tablet in airplain mode and to check with a wakelocks detector. There are not frequent wakelocks from applications (btw we are talking about a clean installation with no additional programs).
I suspect that it's a kernel problem. Anyone had success in trying to use any alternative kernel?

 

[X0LARIUM]

ANyone know how to flash this? No instructional Manual with the OS

 

[X0LARIUM]

OMG! JUST PLAIN OMG! I cant believe this is our OLD Nexus Grouper! JUST PLAIN WOW!

THIS is what Android can do! It's Lollipop but feels like Kitkat when it comes to our Tablet! JUST PLAIN O M G!

I tried to use (and I'm still using it) the stock kernel of 5.1 for grouper with the patch for multirom with no change in stability, performance or battery. Maybe you can use the stock kernel for 5.1 for tilapia or other (I tried franco kernel but not boot, I had to restore the original on TWRP)
This is an awesome rom, if you can run it on your tilapia, trust me, the hard work won't be unworthy . And remember to share it! :good:

 

[Volker802]

I tried this Phoenix ROM and I also removed the journal using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41462770#post41462770.
The performance of my grouper has slightly improved but I don't see any significant change.

 

[_never_mind_]

Thank you! Post #88 works great with multirom, now have 6 ROMs on my Nexus 7 2012 |-) Awesome that this has been developped for this old Nexus!

Thanks for all the hard work. 1.0.5 running great after clean install. Does anyone know how to switch the time from 24-hour mode to 12-hour mode?

Also, does anyone know if this will be released for the Asus TF700? I would love to get it on that.

To change time to 12 hour mode just go to date and time settings and tap on set time. Then drag the circle towards the center where it shows 1-12 instead of 1-24.
